Guillermo Del Toro(Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, and Charlie Hunnam.
Another masterwork of British nostalgia, again haunted but more urgent than before, from director Terence Davies. Adapting the play by Terence Rattigan, he gives Rachel Weisz one of her finest roles as Hester. Buried in marriage to a stuffy judge (Simon Russell Beale) ruled by his prig-snob mother, she finds …
The film begins as its story ends — with the handsome, introspective lead character (Tom Hiddleston) picking through the rubble of a broken building, finding a dog, bringing it back to his ruined apartment, then slaughtering it and roasting its hind leg on a spit while cheerful classical music streams …
Bad man makes good music. Or, perhaps more strangely, sad man makes happy music. (Spoiler alert: we don’t hear the plaintive croon of “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” until the closing credits.
